Combined Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals an Ethylene-Activated Regulatory Model on Monoterpenoid Indole Alkaloid Biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Catharanthus roseus contains nearly 200 bioactive monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) that are effective in treating cancer and other diseases. Ethylene plays a significant role in enhancing MIA biosynthesis, and we have found that it greatly induces the accumulation of anhydrovinblastine.

Oxidative Rearrangements of the Alkaloid Intermediate Geissoschizine. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
19E‐geissoschizine is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids such as strychnine, ibogaine, and vinblastine. Using enzymatic assays and gene silencing, three CYPs were identified from C. roseus that oxidize this compound to four alkaloid scaffolds: strychnos, sarpagan, akuammiline, and mavacurane. Mutational analysis reveals
